Dodo's Daughter is a sequel to the novel Dodo by Edward Frederic Benson, published in 1913. The story follows the life of Dodo's daughter, Paula, who is now an adult and living in London. Paula is a beautiful and charming young woman who is pursued by many suitors, but she is hesitant to commit to any of them. She is also struggling with her own desires and ambitions, as she dreams of pursuing a career in the arts. As Paula navigates the complexities of love, career, and family, she must also confront the legacy of her mother's scandalous past. Dodo was a notorious socialite who had numerous affairs and caused a scandal that rocked London society. Paula must come to terms with her mother's reputation and decide whether to follow in her footsteps or forge her own path.The novel is a satirical commentary on the upper-class society of the early 20th century, with its emphasis on wealth, status, and scandal. Benson's wit and humor shine through in his portrayal of the characters and their foibles. Dodo's Daughter is a delightful and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of classic British literature and social satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
